A man of the house of Levi went, etc. And where did he go? This teaches that he went after his daughter's advice. For Amram was the leader of the generation. When he saw the evil Pharaoh's decree, he said, "We are toiling for naught."

He arose and divorced his wife. So they all arose and divorced their wives. His daughter said to him, "Father, your decree is harsher than the evil Pharaoh’s, as Pharaoh decreed only against the males, and you decreed against the males and the females. Pharaoh only decreed in this world, but you [decreed] in this world and in the next.

Pharaoh is wicked, and it is uncertain whether his decree will be fulfilled or whether it will not be fulfilled. However, you are righteous, and your decree will certainly be fulfilled." As it is stated: You will decree, and it will be fulfilled (Job 22:28). He immediately arose and remarried his wife.

All of them arose and remarried their wives. But why does it say, "he took"; it needs [to say], "he took back!" Rather it teaches that he took her with the trappings of a wedding. He placed her in a palanquin, and Aharon and Miriam were dancing before her while the ministering angels were saying, "A happy mother of children" [alluding to Psalms 113:9].
